Journey to 280lbs

[massive]

Hi I am an inspiring bodybuilder who hopes to achieve my next goal of reaching 280lbs (20st) and to win the britain finals (novice) on may 29th.

I recently placed 3rd at the MR.UK comps few weeks ago that qualified me for the finals. Now im planning on bulking until end of feb, concentrating on bringing up all of my weak points whilst keeping bf as low as possible but enough for me to achieve my goal.

Im currently off cycle until jan 1st, my aim is to reach 252lb (18st) by then, then 280lb by end of feb after an 8week bulking cycle. I am currently 235lbs and 6% bf.

I am currently running creatine, NOS, tribulus and methoxy isoflavone (natural test boosters) I am in week 2 of these supplements and have already added half inch to my biceps and forearms and thighs, most other body-parts quarter inch improvements. I have also added a staggering 10lbs in the 1st week aswell. Alot of these gains are due to the fact that I have just competed and the body grows like crazy after all them weeks of low carb/calorie.

STATS:
AGE: 30
HEIGHT: 5"10
CYCLES: 9
CURRENT WEIGHT: 235LBS
GOAL: 280LBS
BF: 6%


MEASUREMENTS
BICEPS: 19.5"
TRICEPS: 17"
FOREARMS :15"
THIGH:27.5"
CALVE:18.25"
WAIST 35.5"
CHEST 50"

That's quite a bit of mass to put on. Good luck with that.

Keep us posted.

 

[Biggin]

U will get it, that's a given bro!!

 

[massive]

Thanks biggin. am 100% focused for achieving this goal now. only kryptonite can stop me now ha.

Will post my progress every monday for you all.

 

[Biggin]

Looking forward to it massive.

I admire your tough but attainable goals. I have to ask, how can you gain so much mass without adding a good deal of bf? You're talking almost 40lbs of straight up lean muscle mass. I'm in no way nocking your or your goals I just always wondered how people can put on soo much weight without a good deal of fat too?? Even the weight you're at at 6% bf blows my mind!

How often do you do cardio, if any?

 

[scouser5]

massive, good luck on reaching your goals! Its always good to follow someones journey and learn from them. Like massive 123 said how do you manage to keep bf% down? When bulking I need to do cardio in order to keep the bf in check. Whats your workout schedule like? Glad you're keeping a journal on this.

 

[flex90]

this is gonna be a sick log!!

what do u plan on running starting jan 1st?

 

[Biggin]

This will be a good log for sure, He can hit 280 if he really wants too!

The only cardio that I am doin is 2-3times wk 30mins fast paced walk on moring before breakfast.

Whilst im on calories x bodyweight that puts me at around 6000calories per and will rise with the more weight I acheive. To counter any fat gain I take 12.5mcg of t3 whilst I bulk to keep my metabolism high to deal with high amount of meals and helps keep the fat off aswel, was thinking of running 4iu gh eod aswel to keep the fat off.

Reason why my bf is low right now is that I have just competed in a bodybuilding contest 3weeks ago so bf is still low and I hope to keep it under 10% aswel whilst bulking.

FLEX this what im planning on running in jan;

Weeks 1 - 2 oxys 100mg/ed
Weeks 3 - 4 oxys 150mg/ed
Weeks 5 - 6 oxys 100mg/ed
Weeks 1 - 8 sust 1050mg/wk
Weeks 1 - 8 deca 600mg/wk
Weeks 1 - 8 tri-tren 150mg/eod
Weeks 1 - 8 nolva 20mg/ed
Week 4 and 8 1500iu hcg on saturday

SCOUSE at minute im training 3days/wk
5bodyparts per session
1 exercise per bodypart
4-5sets of 6reps
All compound exercises

I dig this low volume, heavy compound exercises. You'll be a 280 pound mass monster. "Hard Gainers" need to pay attention.

 

[Massive123]

I'm excited to watch the progress on this log. I figured there'd be more cardio but hey I guess at that weight you can't do too much if you're trying to pack on the lbs. Sick that the T3 can keep the bf down. I guess the gear doesn't hurt lol. Good luck bro post some pics if you can. I think a before-after would make this a really incredible log...especially since you have what it takes to make this happen! Good luck!

Massive123 here are a couple of back shots frm other week, my best bodypart. will post sum other poses next week.

Its amazing how being not being hydrated enough and not having enough sleep messes with your training, almost all of my lift were down. Felt awful as soon as I walked in the gym 2day, felt like I had been beaten before Id even started lifting, had no motivation at all today. Everything seemed way heavier than previous sessions. Had to train earlier than usual which mucked up my meals and hydration, plus a late night and early morning didnt help either.


MONDAY
Deadlift
300 x 6
350 x 4
Had to stop as lower back pumps were too much to handle.
Seeing physio about problem though, have really bad lower back pain, caused from tilted pelvis from weal core stability.
